St. Pete and the Phillips Family

I LOVE the beach.

I LOVE everything about it - the smell, the sand, the sunset, the fish, sandcastles . . .

Always so hard to leave. Then, I return to our house and want to decorate it in a beach motif! Hard task considering we live in a farm house!

Some things I want to remember:

• Mia just floating in an inner tube riding the waves without a care in the world.
• Curt and Sab completing the wipe-out course!
• Paddleboats in a waterway not nearly wide enough.
• Captain Red Beard
• Walking out the backdoor in a swimsuit with bedhead.
• A Conch in a pocket!
• A trolley ride with sweaty palms
• Fish - pretty, nondescript, acrobatic otters, all just new and wonderful.
• Tired kids riding an early flight home, one fast asleep - hair beaded and happy.

Mia and her sometimes craft friend Captain Red Beard.

Pet the sting ray at the aquarium. Sab was not impressed :)

 Love this.

Surprise in a shell.

 

 

Seems sooo long ago!
